Have a ball on vacation

Now that spring break has met with its sweltering denouement, what are your plans for the summer? If you are anything like me, you might feel a little anxious about the subject. Where to begin? Where to go? It could be as simple as following Kurt Perschke's RedBall Project to its next destination, London, in June. Although, you might need something a little more than a giant art installation to tempt you to leave your nest.

If that's the case, and I believe it is, we've got a few ideas for you to get started. Check out our list of resources, featuring books, and a few links to help you determine a destination. Point your browser to kayak, where you will be able to explore a wide range of airfare prices for any month of the year. That's just the tip of the iceberg (apologies, Titanic). Find hotels, car rentals, and vacation packages at this one-stop web experience.Looking for something homier than a hotel? Try VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner) or HomeAway, where you can search for lodging in someone's home.

When you figure out where you're going, let us know. There are a few people who could use some suggestions.
